My keyboard won't let me press 3 keys at once sometimes.

Good luck TVE! Don't puke during PT too much.

It's for real.

I'd like to do something involving driving street cars too (won't be a paid racing driver for a little while yet ). Ferrying cars for a dealer/rental company sounds swell, but there's basically nothing I can find about it on the net. The only thing I could find is organ delivery for the local hospital. Don't really jive with live organs sharing the cabin with me...

Quote from PMD9409 :

How about the ones with max tire pressure in one or more tires, and then at the first pit stop take it down to normal so the car is under the required limit and you pwn. Gotta love that one. There's many more but I'll let you figure them out on your own. Road is no different either.

Don't worry. The tire model will fix everything.

And it will also make your ping 0ms.

If you buy a product in a shop, the price is the same for everyone. It's not adjusted based on how many returns one type/gender/race/age of customer might make. If you DO return the item, though, you may need to pay a restocking fee. Penalty for ACTION, not innate traits.

So too should the insurance rates be. Flat rate for all genders, ages, etc. The price of the car insured, and the quantity of accidents and cost of damage (and other factors which are under your control) for the insured are the only things that should matter.

Crash more, price goes up. Buy a Ferrari over a Honda, price goes up.

The fact that I have to pay more because I'm 21 and male and I drive an "entry level" car is ridiculous. I dare any item shop to try that. See how fast the law would be on them for bullcrap discrimination.

Quote from Danke :

SR is based on a corners per incident (CPI) formula. Qualifying is much shorter than a race, same for warmup. If you turn 8 clean corners in oval qualifying, it won't do much for your SR.

Yes but there is a multiplier in addition to the shortness of it. Refer to the Sporting Code:

3.
6.1. iRacing.com™ places a high priority on safe driving at all times, but races, and other sessions when incidents can directly affect more than one competitor, are more important than Time Trials and single-car Qualifying. Accordingly, Corner & Incident Multipliers are applied when averaging a recent session into a driver’s Safety Rating.

3.6.2. Current Corner & Incident Multipliers are shown below in Table 3.6. Note that incidents are counted throughout each session, including during the cool-down period after the checkered flag has been shown.

(session) (multiplier)
Practice 0.0
Lone Qualifying (Oval) 0.35
Open Qualifying (Road) 0.5
Time Trial 0.35
Race Warm Up 0.5
Unofficial Race 0.35
Official Race 1.0


As you can see, time trials and warmups etc will have much less of an effect on your SR, both good and bad. If you do 10 corners in a lone qualifying session, only 3.5 corners will be added to your docket, and 35% of your incident points.

Quote from mutt107 :

Practice and testing don't affect SR, qualifying and time trials do though.

And warm up and after the checkered as well, though TT, Qual and warmups affect the SR less than races.

It will show you many things that are wrong with your connection.

Quote from aoun :

They are censored because of the same reason you wouldnt want your wives/girlfriends walking around the streets with no shirt/bra..

And what reason is that? That I'm an insecure ****? Seriously, prudeness is like a mental disorder or something. The human body is not frightening, shameful, or gross. Society just teaches people to think that.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

It all stems from class. It was okay to see a peasants nipples but not a ladies. That was quite unladylike. But was no uncommon for a peasant woman to walk around topless and no one would bat an eye lid. Naturally the prudes that are Victorians quashed this because it was quite vulgar.

However, the class reason still exists, which is why you can see third world titties on TV during the middle of the day and no censorship, but have to wait until after the watershed to see Western tits.

Dead on, tbh.

It's pathetic. Tits are like the least harmful things on the planet. Without them our species wouldn't have got very far really.

Well, no offense guys, but y'all should have iRatings high enough to keep you out of the trouble splits. Bottom splits in rookies are full of <1k iRatings.

Quote from JasonJ :

Strange. I find that track boring as hell. I prefer the likes of Infineon, Road Atlanta, Laguna, you know, some elevation changes, blind crests etc.

I hate Road Atlanta but I agree on the others. Silverstone is a good track but, I just couldn't get my act together and go real fast. I only managed a 1:33.6 as my fastest. Miraculously I'm still leading the championship. I don't have Spa or New Hampshire so I'll be dropping down the order over the next two weeks.

Quote from Xaid0n :

Hourly on the hour @ Limerock and Laguna, like Moose said, it's just the Rookie MX5 Cup

I wish they'd at least use Summit.

Not that I actually race the series anyhow.

PS, over 100 people registered for the 0100 GMT Grand Am race. Wowz.

Aaaand we're back to green flag racing, sports fans!

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

I just did quick few laps as test drive with Mazda MX5 on Zaandvort racing track and have a bit mixed feeling. In case I start loosing grip it seems there is a huge gap untill you can feel it. Also the weight of the car seems very hard to feel as well. This is much better simulated in LFS. Maybe I just need to get used to it. These are really quick obeservations.

Yeah, that is the downside to the handling in iRacing. There seems to be less information in the force feedback than LFS or NKP, with regard to vehicle behavior, catching slides, weight shift etc. You do get used to it. The tire sounds will tell you a lot.

There is some hope that the upcoming tire updates will help, but it will be at least another 3 months before we get any updates and it will probably only be select cars at first.

Quote from BigPeBe :

Not for me. I'm into "old skool". Or if not historic racing then more "down to earth" engineering. Cars in iRacing present modern racing, I find cars like these without a soul, they're maybe fast and adrenalin pumping but at the same time very sterile and uninspiring.

If I were to add 1 car to iRacing it would be a '63 Corvette Grand Sport.

They really need a historic GT car.

Still, you might try the Mustang. It kinda handles like a historic car.

Whoa, that little tire tweak really changed a few of the cars. Try the Mustang and the Star Mazda!

Can you use them in Arcade?

we just need to divert power from life support for 5 minutes (just make sure you're not wearing a red sweater when it happens). then we'll have world peace, the hole in the ozone will be fixed and jedward will be placed in a superman like prison thing.

Make it so.

Not every car has to be super clean and shaved.. after the 50th one it gets kinda boring.

Car is high speed low drag. So car should look it.
